Paper Sweeties Challenge - July 2017 Anything Goes!

Hello, all! It's time for another challenge at Paper Sweeties and we have a super fun and festive inspiration for you this month! Take a peek...

Isn't that super fun?! I was inspired by that wreath and the patriotic feel! Here's my completed creation...

I used the wreath stamp from the Hello Spring stamp set and then the Hello Spring Sweet Cuts dies to create my patriotic wreath. The flower was made using the little heart die and the flower die from the Sweet Cuts set and I love it!

This sweet sentiment is from the Love You To Pieces set. I stamped it onto vellum before adding it to my card. I love the fun fonts!

I kept it CAS with some dry embossing and a few litter embellishments. I love the way this turned out and I hope you do, too! Please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think!

That's all for me, friends!  Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by!  I hope you come and join in the fun with us this month, and don't forget to check out the other DT makes!

MHKDesigns: May 2017 Challenge

Happy May, friends! It's time for another monthly challenge to begin at MHKDesigns, and this month we have a fun birthday themed inspiration for you! Of course, if you use products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, it's ANYTHING GOES! But we love seeing everything you make, so link up with us! Here's this month's inspiration...

I was inspired by the colors, cakes, and polka dots! I did some layering, coloring, and glitterfying (that's a word!) to create my creation this moth. Take a peek at my completed card...

The image and sentiment are both from the Eat Your Cake! digital stamp set. I colored the image in with gel pens and added glitter to the frosting. The sentiment was printed onto vellum before being added as a pennant to the card.

The papers I used are from the Rosy Posy digital paper pack. I added some magenta glitter paper, a doily, and a gold washi star with a rhinestone in the middle to finish the card off.  I hope you like it! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you hop over to join in our monthly challenge at MHKDesigns!  There are prizes for each one, and you can use any products you'd like! :) Don't forget to leave some love with the other gals on this wonderful DT, too!

MHKDesigns: March Challenge

Hello, everyone!  Happy March! It's beginning to look like spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, and Easter is upon us, as well, so we've got a photo inspiration challenge to match at MHKDesigns!  Take a peek...

I was inspired by the colors and flowers in the photo. I chose to do a more floral creation this month so I could practice my coloring with Spectrum Noir markers. Check out my creation...

These beautiful flowers are from the Open Bloom set. I used the Spectrum Noir pinks, yellows, and greens to color them in. The shadowing in the image makes coloring them super simple!

The sentiment is from the I've Been Framed set. I printed it onto vellum, then punched it out with a circle punch and framed it with gems. I love the way the border turned out!

The papers I used to accent the card base are from the Trick or Treat and Egg-cellent Easter paper packs. Some ribbon up top ties is all together! I love the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too!  Please do leave me a comment to let me know what you think! :)

MHKDesigns: Pretty As A Pitcher

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the February 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous sets to share this month, along with one paper pack.  I just know you will LOVE all the creations that my team and I have to share, as well!  Today's set is called...

Pretty As A Pitcher

And here is my card~

This image was colored in with a combination of implements.  I used Wink of Stella pens for the metallic portions, glitter gel pens for the roses and some leaves, and a blue water based marker for the scroll accents.  The sentiment was added over the image after it was printed onto vellum.  A few flowers and leaves accent the sentiment.  The base was prepped with paper from the *NEW* Rosy Posy paper pack before the focal panel was added.

Keeping the image as a larger focal image definitely works on this card, I think!  I love the addition of the vellum and flowers, as well. I hope you like my offering today, and I would love for you to leave me your thoughts about this creation in the comments below!

And now, let's talk about how to get this new set OR the entire release for FREE!  Here's what you'll need to do...

1. Comment here on the MHKDesigns blog.
2. Comment on each DT member's blog.
3. Join our MHKDesigners and Friends Facebook group and comment there.

I'll be choosing comments randomly from all these places after the release is over, and the authors of those comments will be our winners!  So, the best way to win is to comment every day!  We LOVE the feedback you give us! :)  Here's the list of blogs for you to visit today...
